In this session we will look at the options for replicating content between Alfresco repositories. Starting with a re-cap of the existing functionality of version 3.3, we will then introduce the new replication features of Alfresco 3.4 including some more advanced scenarios. If you have been paying attention to recent SVN commits then you can't have failed to notice that Alfresco folders can be invaded by aliens. Find out what that means in this session!
